I was driving on fumes the other day during my lunch break and pulled into the Texaco near the corner of Battleground/Lawndale. I almost was putting the nozzle in my car and I saw the "no firearms" sign. I decided to go inside and ask for the manager's phone number because I had a problem with one of their policies.
The lady at the cash register was really interested in which policy I was upset with. She was extremely confused when I told her it was the no guns allowed policy that upset me. She said "of course we don't allow guns in our stores, we would be crazy to allow that!". I proceeded to tell her that it bothered me because I am a licensed law abiding citizen (I would also like OC'ers to be able to carry there as well, but it helps to say this) and I am not the person who they need to be worried about carrying weapons in their store.
Blah blah blah she kept repeating the same stuff and laughing at me for thinking anyone but a LEO could ever be trusted carrying a gun. Anyways, I got the manager/owner's number which I give out at the bottom of the page for anyone else interested in contacting him.
The conversation went the same way with the owner and he said the reason he doesn't allow guns in the store is because there is so much crime in his store........ MORON, that is why we need it...and no, that is not actually what I said to him. I was very articulate and polite, but it would have been fun to say that. He didn't like my "well if you want to reduce crime, why don't you simply put up a 'no robberies or other crime' sign and take down the 'no guns' sign". He hung up on me after I told him that I would post this experience on this site to encourage every one of you to never buy gas or anything else there in the future.
